0.5L bottle poured a murky amber-ish brown with fluffy tan head. The aroma is dusty caramelized malts, sweeter malts, molasses and a nice background of peat. The flavor is much the same with caramelized roasted malts, hints of dark fruit and nice load of peated malt. Then fruit type note surfaces that seems like dark chocolate covered apricots drizzled with toffee. Very enjoyable brew that became even better as it warmed.

Bottle. Amber coloured with a slight red tinge and a minimal head. Aroma of raspberry concentrate and some malt. Flavours of red fruit and blackberries, which seemed a bit forced and artificial before a dry finish. This seemed contrived and unconvincing, and one was quite enough for me.

Bottled at Loch Ness, Stockholm. Clear amber,rich head. Buttery aramel aroma. Sweet and mildly malty, medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Butterscotch wrapped in a thin blanket of grassy hops,notes of slightly burnt toasted bread. Finishing with medium bitterness. Typical Scottish rainy day beer.

Medium, whipped eggwhite head, over clear foxy-amber beer. Bit sourish nose at first. Reminds me for some reason of wet moor ground/plants; then a bit of caramel and some discreet hops, ending again leafy/earthy. Ashes taste, as well as earthy. Bit smoked, even meaty but then going deeper, into leafy, mossy realms. Unfortunately, plagued by the British disease, known as too much water. Which makes the flavours fade away into strathospheric space. The onset was glorious, but the campaign drowned itself in the watery lowlands. Thanks, Craig.

red brown colour with thin bubbly head, thin for a stout, rich malty fruity front leading to a mellow chocolate malt.
